A presentation by Luca Cottini (PhD). Delivered on June 24, 2022 at the Superyacht Design Festival, organized in Milan by Boat International Media Company.

* Industria (industriousness) and cultura (cultivation): the 2 concomitant faces of value creation
* Italian #design is not "Made in Italy". What makes on object Italian? What does "Italian" add to it?
* The origin of Italy's distinction. From an incomplete industrialization to a unique industrial model
* The Italian vs the anglo-salon approach to #innovation
* Objects as #storytelling devices: from decoration to personification. The object as a living actor
* How can an #object (or a story) achieve eternal freshness? The parallel path to creativity of the writer and the #designer (the models of originality of Dante, Petrarch, Ariosto, Tasso, and Collodi)
* Design as a #philosophy of gesture: the empowerment of objects from use to lasting meaning
* The boat as a complex #architecture of meaning and a synthesis of functionality and storytelling
* Three assembling sites of Italian #yachting: the fabbrica, the court, and theatre
* Yachts as #opera houses, combining different "works" in a unique synthesis of industry & culture
